  We recently discussed customizing and configuring clinical trial software that is hosted in the cloud. For the final post in our “cloud fact or fiction” blog series, we’ll discuss the hot topic of validation. 

  As you may have read in our most recent “cloud fact or fiction” post, we confirmed that companies have the ability to perform system administration activities for solutions hosted in the cloud. Let’s now tackle configurations and customizations.
